The Federal Communications Commission has exacted fines on retailers found to not be fully advising customers about the DTV transition, including Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, and Target; as well as a number of CE manufacturers.

Wal-Mart/Sam’s West, Circuit City, Fry’s, Target, Sears, K-Mart, and CompUSA were all found to have violated a federal rule on labeling analog TV-related merchandise sold either in-store or on their Web sites, resulting in a total of $3,928,000 in forfeitures.
